Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somewhere out where no one knows Runs a cool revolution fight Way out there where no one goes And it's got to keep moving Got to keep getting it right So, here's to the piston charged Combustible delight The single-minded supercharged That's got to keep movin' Got to keep getting it [Chorus] A call to arms A call right through the dream A call to action Blow up the in-between Feed, feed your engine Feed, feed the wolverine Feed, feed the tension Mean, green, killing machine [Post-Chorus] C'mon, c'mon, and say what my name is: Mean, green, killing machine [Verse 2] So, Mother Mary gave the nod The saints bathed in holy light The machine had hit the lightning rod And it had to keep rolling Rolling on through the night In the deep, dark underground With eyes that have no sight So, here's to the battleground That's got to keep rolling Got to keep rolling [Chorus] A call to arms A call right through the dream A call to action Blow up the in-between Feed, feed your engine Feed, feed the wolverine Feed, feed the tension Mean, green, killing machine [Post-Chorus] C'mon, c'mon, and say what my name is: Mean, green, killing machine [Bridge 1] The clock, your only friend As time leaves its debris Your soul is on the mend But time is killing me I gave you everything But a machine I'll always be Pick it up [Bridge 2] They got nothing more to add to the conversation (Oh) They drink gasoline from a dirty glass (Oh) They got nothing but a sad, sad situation (Oh) With nothing more to add to the damnation (Oh) Nuts and bolts and screws with no social class (Oh) They got nothing but a sad, sad situation (Oh) It's a sad, sad, sad, sad situation (Oh) Nuts and bolts and screws, balls of brass (Oh) [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] If you're out where no one goes Where no one cares to lie Keep 'em open; don't you blink I'm talking 'bout, talking 'bout your eyes It's faster than the speed of light And sonically disguised There comes the mean, green motherfucker Blazing 'cross the sky [Chorus] A call to arms A call right through the dream A call to action Blow up the in-between Feed, feed your engine Feed, feed the wolverine Feed, feed the tension Mean, green, killing machine [Outro] Killing machine Killing machine Mean, green, killing machine
